Scunthorpe Saints in the wars against powerful Mildenhall

Saints went down to a powerful Mildenhall outfit 35-56 in an eventful evening at the Eddie Wright Raceway.

Scunthorpe were reduced to five riders after Danny Phillips and Tommy Fenwick crashed out, while Mildenhall’s Nathan Stoneman suffered a broken leg.

The Fen Tigers flew into a 10-2 lead after two races and were never seriously challenged. New Scorpions’ signing Stefan Nielsen was in inspired form and only missed out on a maximum when he fell while leading heat four.

Saints’ Oliver Greenwood, returning from injury, took a fine second place in heat 14 after winning a battle with Josh Bates.
